At age 15, he played the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco with blues legend, Elvin Bishop who had seen Scott perform in Sacramento. Later that year one of his band members that owned the band van drove the group to Los Angeles where they literally walked along Sunset Boulevard and stopped at every business that had the word 'music' in it's name and asked for an audition based on a cassette recording of the band's live set. The one and only door that opened to them was from the one and only, Barry White.

Sitting around a large desk, behind which sat an even larger man, Barry White put in the tape and closed his eyes as he listened. He cut off the music a minute or so into the first song and in a bass voice that resonated like God, asked; "Who's the drummer?" Scott raised his shaky hand and spoke, "Me...Mr. White." At which point Barry broke into a huge smile, and said, "Right on." Scott had been sanctified.

Scott hooked up with singer Steve Perry at age 16 and began writing songs and building a band around Steve's voice. The band, Ice, earned a solid reputation and eventually spent two weeks in Los Angeles' famed Record Plant Studios recording during the day while Stevie Wonder recorded his breakthrough record Talking Book by night. Scott was asked if it would be OK for Stevie to use his drums since they were set up and the ecstatic youngster agreed. To this day when Superstition comes on the radio, Scott feels a certain glow hearing his drums (played by Wonder) as the intro to the song.
